El Cerro De Nandy

This place is a blast! The food was delicious and the view obviously can’t be beat! There was live music too. Hope I get to go back during my next visit to PR!

Worth it! The ride was fun and the food was fantastic!!! The people were friendly too–

My first time in P.R. In 15 years. My cousins took us to Cerro de Nandy and it was a fun trip and a fun experience. The food is good, although by the time we got there they didn’t have any bacon white rice. :(. the place is casual and inexpensive. If you are a tourist, a visit to Cerro de Nandy is a must. It’s very much local as it’s going to get. The view is spectacular.

This place was great! The ride to it is amazing and the view once you get there is the best. I had the rabbit, which was delicious.

HANDS DOWN A MUST DO!!!
We decided to go to El Cerro De Nandy after seeing all of the reviews and seeing it on TV. My family is originally from San Lorenzo and not allot of them have been to El Cerro.
I used the link on the FB page it did get us to San Lorenzo and very close to the actual location, but not quite. I had to stop at a lil corner store and they told me exactly were to go, luckily we were only about 2 mins away on the same road.
We got there and left the car parked on a lot that they have and paid 5 bucks to get dropped off and picked up.
The road to get up there is very narrow and its all mud and rocks.
When you finally make it up there the view is incredible, it is breath taking. It is one of those views that literally choke you up.
The food is very good and there is a balcony you can sit in and eat there and let me tell you that is another view, so beautiful.
The owner Nandy… after a few drinks is something else LOL… if you dont like people that talk your ear off stay away.
Other then that WOW excellent!

I went to its FB page and clicked on the map, which led me to google maps on my phone (it was dead on with the directions!) In order to get up there we took a military type vehicle and paid $ 5 per person (roundtrip). Others can make it up there if they have a 4×4 but i wouldn’t risk it. Once you get up there the view is breathtaking. Their menu includes chuletas kan-​kan, rice and beans, arroz con gandules, aguacate, yuca, costillas, etc. A plate of food can cost from 5 – 8 but it was delicious. When friend come over from USA, i will definetly take them here for a couple of beers and good food.

We got lost on the way finding this place. My Spanish is muy malo, and I thought the gas station attendant we asked for directions said, «take a left at the Madonna». So we drove around looking for a statue of the Virgin Mary. …then we realized she said «take a left at the MacDonalds». We finally get to the departure point at the base of the mountain. One can either catch a ride on the old-​timey military transport that runs regularly, or if you have 4×4 on your car, you can go up yourself. We had a sweet Jeep rental with 4×4, so we popped it into gear and headed up this super rough jungle trail up the side of a mountain. It was like I was on the A-​Team. The restaurant itself is barely a shack. Super rustic. There’s a one-​armed chef like out of some movie. Semi-​feral cats coming out of the surrounding jungle looking for scrapes. The view is insanely breathtaking. Everyone there is jovial. Children running around laughing. The booze is super cheap and the food is great. Real authentico no-​frills, no-​BS, puertoricano country fare. Good stuff. It was probably my favorite thing we did the entire week we were there.

This was one of my great Puerto Rico adventures. We had a hard time finding the place, but once we did, we were super stoked! The ride up to the restaurant was a great adventure in itself. You will totally need 4WD to get up the face of this mountain. Once you do however, you will not be sorry. I ordered the fried pork, and fried rice with pork belly. It came with yucca, and a huge slice of avacado. HUGE servings, and the view on top of the mountain was spectacular. The food was as well. If I am ever in Puerto Rico again, I will 100% be visiting this place again!
